The Dynamics of Honor Killings in
Turkey: Prospects for Action
UNDP and the United Nations Population Fund in
Turkey have launched a groundbreaking report on a particularly
shameful form of violence against women, honour killing. Based
on research conducted by the Population Association of Turkey,
the report analyzes the social structures and mentality behind
so-called honour crimes and makes recommendations for a
zero-tolerance policy to eradicate such violence against
women.
